The Avalara Guarantee

We believe in providing a fast, easy, and accurate way to manage your taxes. If you are not fully satisfied after 60 days, we will provide a refund for your purchase.

For as long as you are a customer of Avalara AvaTax, if you ever suffer a negative audit finding and financial loss related to an inaccurate result returned by the Avalara service, we will pay your uncollected tax, penalty and interest, or refund your prior 12 months' service fee, whichever is lower.

"Having Avalara in place allows us the freedom to focus on our business, not on sales tax management or burdensome maintenance."

Usually this is caused by the jurisdiction not being selected in AvaTax. Log in to AvaTax and select Settings > Manage where you collect and remit tax. There you can select the country, state, and local jurisdictions where you’re obligated to collect and remit.

All invoices flow into AvaTax, but tax is only calculated for jurisdictions you select in AvaTax settings. All other jurisdictions will show a zero-tax calculation. You can use AvaTax reports to filter your transactions to view only transactions where tax was calculated. Learn more.

In the AvaTax dashboard, click Settings and scroll down to the Manage Users link. After clicking Add user, you’ll have an option to choose whether the user is an Administrator (for users who will manage tax settings and approve sales tax returns) or the user requires Read-only access (for users to view reports, but not change settings).
